...carry through such reforms, the country's new Premier, Oldřich Černík, 46, organized a new Cabinet of forward-looking moderates who are unlikely to revert to the old ways. Among the members are such men as Interior Minister Josef Pavel, 59, and Defense Minister Martin Dzur, 48. Both of these new ministers were purged in the past and served stiff prison terms. The new Minister of Culture and Information, urbane, polished former Editor Miroslav Galuška, 45, is a favorite of the country's liberal writers, who were the catalysts of reform...
...wake of labor-camp sentences meted out to four youthful critics of the Soviet regime two weeks ago, the Kremlin last week cracked down on the man who had done the most to dramatize the plight of the dissenting quar tet to the outside world. The Soviet government fired Pavel Litvinov, 30, a physicist, from his post as a lecturer at the Moscow Institute of Precision Chemical Technology. It charged that his absence from the institute during the trial was "an infringement of work discipline...
...wild mockery, unthinkable in the 20th century." That is how one young Russian, Pavel Litvinov, the grandson of ex-Soviet Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinov, described the trial in Moscow last week of four young intellectuals accused of anti-Soviet agitation.

Last week Pavel Litvinov's notes on the proceedings of the September trial in Moscow of his friend, Writer Vladimir Bukovsky, 26, reached several Western newspapers. In them Litvinov, 30, a physicist, describes an interview with a KGB (secret police) officer, who warned him that he would be charged with "slandering" the Soviet...
...answer. Black Peter, Forman's first feature film, is a droll defense of an aimless Czech teenager, who drifts from senseless jobs to hopeless dance-hall encounters to empty lectures at home. In the devastating symbolism of Joseph Kilián, by 30-year-old Director Pavel Juráček, the protagonist borrows a cat from a pet shop and is entangled in a bleak, Kafkaesque nightmare while trying to return it. Painting a surprisingly harsh portrait of Communism's common man, Evald Schorm, 34, debunks bureaucracy with unmuffled freedom in his Courage for Every Day. Chosen...
